It is not what was advertised and pointed to in 1995.
It is not what folks were advised to track through
Sagittarius in late 1995. It is not what folks were
struggling to see in early 1996, nor the brief alignment of a
comet in June-July of 1996. It is not the many Star Clusters that the
Hale-Bopp orbit was aligned with during its twists and turns that
broke all the rules of Orbital Elements and have never been
explained by JPL. And it will prove not to be what has
been billed for Hale-Bopp at perihelion.

Imagine what you might see with the Hubble, above the
atmosphere which clouds mankind's view of his Solar System.
Imagine what information is received by the NEAT Program in Hawaii, home
of one of the most staunch Hale-Bopp advocates, David Tholen, and
home to images of Hale-Bopp that have recently raised a Suspicion of Tampering, a
suspicion mentioned even in the Washington Post. And consider how
many individuals are pointedly getting up in the middle of the
night to see something they have been told will be there,
if they had not been told to do so.

The history of Hale-Bopp was well planned before it was
announced to the public. This includes the nova that was pointed
to in 1995, and the many comets known to NASA and JPL that the
Hale-Bopp orbit has on occasion been lined up with. Comets are so
many gnats in the sky that NASA and JPL fail to report as they
are forbidden to take advantage of their superior view in
this matter. This would be stealing the thunder from amateur
comet hunters and increasing the resentment that the public has
over Hubble images that are hidden from the public on one ruse or
another. If this fraud, the Hale-Bopp fraud, succeeds in getting
the population to stare at the wrong part of the skies,
then expect another and another! The public meanwhile would be
turning their back on the real threat.
